This day we recognize all of those who have so greatly contributed to misery in the world by waging illegal wars, slaughtering, maiming and starving hundreds of thousands of human beings, pandering to the masses with false promises, lying, cheating, taking the Lord’s name in vain, failing to provide food, shelter, health care, medical support, decent education, environmental protection, fair wages, job security, freedom and justice . . . to all.

This day honors the self-indulgent leaders, the exploiters of others,
the torturers, those who bear false witness, the braggarts, the
cheaters, the bullies, the know-it-alls who are perpetually wrong, those who speak before they think, the intolerant, the unfeeling, the cruel, the condescending, the money grubbers, the economic barbarians, the racists and all of those with distorted values who foist those values on others.

You are either with them or against them. Single issues no longer
matter. If people of good will cannot work together to make democracy work, you may possibly see the fall of democracy within your lifetime.
